On Lil Nas X track c7osure the lyrics he wanted fans to translate to what he says was obvious is, “Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow”. These lyrics come up in the song multiple times and is his way of saying that he is not hiding anymore. Lil Nas X never said he was gay or gave any direct hints that he was until he went to Twitter to share the news.
To give more clues to his sexuality he tweeted the cover art to his new album that previously was released.
